Your Festival Space...

Take a stroll to the Octagon. Wander past the Municipal Chambers and find the little side street sandwiched between St Paul’s and the Town Hall (Harrop Street), and come on down...

The Dunedin Centre AKA Glenroy Auditorium

This year, our festival aims to ignite hearts and minds through imagination, ideas and creativity with a big dose of manaakitaka – southern hospitality straight from our hearth. ​

The Dunedin Centre

This beautiful heritage building in central Ōtepoti, will host our Festival Hub along with our main line-up of events.

Taking place in the Fullwood Room, Conference Room and foyer spaces, you can come for a few hours or settle in for the whole weekend.

The Festival Hub

Our Festival Hub will include a mini-book shop, author signing tables, kai and hot drinks, puzzle tables and zine-making stations, as well as warm spaces for connection and kōrero – everything is designed so you can stay as long as you like. 

The venue is also fully accessible with lift access to all areas and we will be creating low-sensory spaces for those that need to get away.

A huge mihi to our funders and sponsors, especially to the NZ Community Trust who helped to make sure we could secure this venue!
